DELTRA EG™

In the multi-million dollar research laboratory of a leading University, Hayabusa's exclusive Deltra EG™ inner core was characterized and compared to other gloves. Using a state of the art force transducer striking device, researchers were able to develop cutting edge testing methodology that characterized materials and cores with laser like accuracy. The glove materials and configurations where subjected to thousands upon thousands of repeated impact cycles. The breakthrough results from the hardline data were undeniable. The new Deltra EG™ inner core of Hayabusa's tokushu series outperformed all others! The data revealed that this new core composite flawlessly manipulates impact energy, providing superior striking characteristics and protection. Deltra EG™ does not bottom out or degrade, and recovers from strikes instantly, so you are always protected.

DUAL-X & FUSION SPLINTING™

Injury avoidance is critical in martial arts. Fighters need advanced protection against common musculoskeletal injuries from misfired punches and improper hand/wrist alignment. Hayabusa has patented an advanced glove design that ensures the athlete is protected to the highest degree possible, and that no energy leaks occur - maximizing punching power. The Dual-X™ closure and Fusion Splinting™ systems provide perfect ergonomic alignment of the athletes’ hand and wrist. University testing, using axial pressure sensors, demonstrated the superiority of this design in guarding against harmful flexion, extension, and twisting. State of the art protection and unmatched quality, combined with hard scientific proof, means Hayabusa has truly engineered a superior fight glove.

Vylar™

A barrage of tests at the University of Cincinnati identified a new high performance engineered leather material, called Vylar™, as the best candidate for the surface of Hayabusa’s gloves. Though leather is in fact an excellent material, this research looked to push the limits of what gloves can withstand. Vylar™ was tested in extreme conditions to ensure it would excel in continuous hardcore training and repeated fight conditions. From surface abrasion, flexibility, tear, and crack resistance, the test results were nothing less than spectacular, causing more than a few jaws to drop. With the results in hand, it was clear Vylar™ Engineered Leather was the only choice for Hayabusa.

Ecta™

The tokushu’s gloves contain a specialized carbonized bamboo lining called Ecta™. This innovative lining is created with activated molecules to deliver 4 main benefits. With the exclusive Ecta™, you get impressive thermoregulating properties, powerful anti-fungal and deodorizing effects and because of the inherent soft properties of bamboo these are the most comfortable gloves ever developed.

I use the product for sparring and training, three times a week.The cushioning is pretty good, which protects my hands and also the sparring opponent. The dual strap on the wrist is very supportive, but does become a nuisance when taking them off. It's a very good glove for beginners and intermediate athletes altogether. I haven't used the new second generation gloves from Hayabusa, but this version is very, very good already.

I purchased the 10oz to use in my Mauy Thai and boxing classes (6-8 hours a week average usage), and this glove is above and beyond what I expected. I am so pleased. I have smaller hands, and I usually feel that the lighter gloves do not offer enough support for intense pad or heavy bag work, but the 12oz and above run too large to be comfortable. These gloves are the best I have ever owned, and for any other ladies looking for a great glove I 100% recommend this pair. They are slim, compact, lightweight, durable, and the double wrap around the wrist offers fantastic stability and support.

It was recomended that I get these gloves based on my needs for 16oz sparring gloves that offer superb wrist protection. My hands and wrists are below average in size and the dual strap closure system for the Tokushu gloves give me as tight a fit as I need unlike some other gloves that I have tried. I also broke my wrist a few years back and since getting these gloves I have not had any issues with my wrist.

The hand compartment is compact enough for my small hands but I could see how it would still be good for those with average size hands as well. I don't have any issues of feeling like my hands can wiggle around inside the glove which is nice.

These gloves are pretty stylish and the fact that they were on sale for such a great price here at MMAWarehouse it was a done deal. The gloves do tend to get a bit warm but honestly when I'm training in my boxing gym I have other things to worry about and focus on so I hardly ever notice that my hands are warm.

The construction of these gloves is really nice, there were only a couple loose threads which I fixed. Although they are not real leather they do seem to be made of strong material so I wouldn't worry so much about that aspect.

I only use these in sparring and the padding is quite good and I have not had any of my partners complain about getting hit by them yet. I can't attest for how well they work on a heavy bag but I am sure they would be good for that as well.

If you have small hands this is the glove for you and even if you don't you should still strongly consider this glove. Take all of this with a grain of salt though as my experience is very limited.

I moved to Hayabusa for obvious reasons. Their quality and longevity. I was using a Title glove for 2 years and it had disintegrated because of punches, push ups and burpees. I picked Tokushu over Ikuza because of the secondary strap that secures the glove in place even before I strap in the primary velcro. The glove itself feels strong and my hands feel secure when punching and doing quick pushups and burpees.I would recommend trying one out because it is a tiny bit large for my hands. I was using 12OZ tittle. It could be because of my tiny hands.Overall, very happy with the purchase.

Use this for Muay Thai sparring and practice and they have proven to be very comfortable, able to wear for long sessions and provide excellent protection for my hands. The wrist wraps at first seemed a bit over the top being a double lock are really good at providing the extra support for my wrists. People i spar with love that they are very protective and doesnt impact them as much as other gloves.

This is a great glove for relatively new guys who have decided to buy decent equipment but don't want to break the bank yet. Snug fit has it's advantages, but if you have larger hands or wear thick wraps or both, you should consider the 'plus' model. Very compact design feels faster, more accurate. Padding and protection give you confidence without taking away feeling and feedback (even though I'm no veteran, I can still feel when I hit with the wrong part of my hand). Gloves have an absorbent mesh liner which have pros and cons: Pros would be moisture wicking capabilities for long rounds, Cons would be taking longer to dry out completely between workouts and the rough texture grinding on your pretty little hands. Wear wraps, invest in some cedar bags or stuffits. Best application for this glove (IMO) is pad work and technique work, light controlled sparring. It's a relatively soft glove, but if you tee off on someone before breaking the gloves in, you're not gonna make many friends. This is a GREAT glove!

The prices are low because Hayabusa has discontinued this line. All of our products are brand new. We do ship to UK.

Q:

the new HAYABUSA TOKUSHU BOXING GLOVES seem to be used with sparring, bagwork, and mitt work, but can you also use these gloves as amatuer fight gloves? if i choose the 10 oz or 12 oz sizes can i use them as fight gloves or are they strictly for sparring and other bag work? If thats the case which NON MMA BOXING GLOVES FROM HAYABUSA CAN BE USED AS FIGHT GLOVES

PLEASE GET BACK TO ME SOON BECASUE I WOULD LIKE TO BUY THEM IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS

The hand size for these gloves is nearly the same on any ounce size you choose, the only difference is the amount of padding the glove has to protect your hands. The 10oz gloves have the least padding, where as the 16oz will have the most. If you do have large hands we have they same type of glove made in a plus size. This glove comes only in 16oz. type hay-1140 into the search bar to pull up the tokushu plus glove.

Q:

Wich size of the tokushu do you recommend, I'm 5'5" weigh 163lbs, my hands are 4.1" just below the knuckles and 7.5" from my wrist joint to the end of my middle finger. The glove will be used mostly for heavy bag and mitts and some light sparring, also I'll be using 180 hand wraps.Thank you.

I'm a female Muay Thai enthusiast, 5'4", and weigh 118lbs. My hand size in 3" across the knuckles and 6.5" from my wrist joint to the end of my middle finger. I would like to get the heaviest gloves possible that won't be awkwardly large on my hands. Which style Hayabusa gloves do you recommend for training and which size would suit me best?Thank you!

Due to the unique size of your hand, a 10oz glove would be the best fit. However, 10oz will not be the ideal size for maximum padding and weight for your training needs. If you move up to 12oz or higher you will receive all of the benefits that come with using a heavier glove, but end up losing the proper fit. There is a good chance the use of handwraps can add some more size to your hand. It all depends on what your highest priority is in training. Best of luck!
